Projects My First Custom - Shoebox Project

Great profile.

 

That is a perfectly proportioned chop my friend.

 

Great thread. PERFECT chop. My first car was a '50 Club Coupe. I've been looking for another one lately. Your thread will be a great source of inspiration if I ever find the right one.

 

x3!

 

Awesome build thread! Nice welding! Enjoyed it all.

 

Kind of has a Frankenstiens monster look with all the tac welds looking like stitches. Chop looks even better outside. Really excited to see how this car looks finished.

 

Great job so far. Keep up the good work. Are you planning on changing the front end at all?

 

Rich,

Love the profile pic!!! I bet the boobies love anyone that good-looking too!

Looking very, very nice. Keep it up.

 

I like the 49 Ford Grill, sure frenched lights, smoothed and peaked hood, that's it.

Hey, if not for your tech on chopping, I never would have had the courage.

Thanks again.

Rich

The fab work and welding in this thread are top notch! Thumbs up as well on having the patience to wait for all those great photos you posted to upload lol...

 

Another Shoebox owner here subscribing to the thread, lots of great inspiration, Mustang tank looks like a good idea, mine has same rear floor rot and a fuel tank that has been stood since 1992. Coming on really nicely Rodster.

L.P.

 

Any updates?

 

Definitely mad skillz, Rich. Don't know how I missed this thread, either. Just how much did you chop? I hear over and over how a subtle chop makes an already lowered shoebox look way too high, but yours looks on track.
